During her time back in Kenosha, Lorraine loved gardening, bowling, and spending lots of quality time with her grandchildren. Then in 2002, she and Roger entered a new phase of retirement moving to the warmth of Tucson, AZ. After many fun trips and making new friends, Lorraine moved back to Kenosha after husband, Roger’s, passing and spent her final years living with family.
